5/31/2023 0 Comments SPY, THE by Paulo CoelhoInnocent? Perhaps that is not the right word. You will know there was never any concrete evidence against me - only documents that had been tampered with - but you will never publicly admit that you allowed an innocent woman to die. You will meet journalists interested to hear your version of events, you will dine in the city’s most expensive restaurants, and you will be looked upon with respect and envy by your peers. You will have many people knocking at your door, begging for your services, for, even defeated, you attracted huge publicity. You will be a very busy man, having gained notoriety defending a war criminal. I have always been a realistic woman and I know that, once a case is settled, a lawyer will move on to the next one without a backward glance. I will hold on to the letter so that, one day, my only daughter might read it to find out who her mother was.īut if I am wrong, I have little hope that these pages, which have consumed my last week of life on Earth, will be kept. After all, I spent my life cultivating influential friends. If things turn out as I hope, you will never receive this letter. I have always been an optimistic woman, but time has left me bitter, alone, and sad. I do not know what will happen at the end of this week.
